I decided that the fourth button will be used for switching between using weapons, and not using them. Why? Because it works with the mouse's scroll wheel.

Also, you've got an indicator at the top-left if you've got the gun active or not.

Animation testing, again.

I map animations to keyboard buttons, then figure out the AI. Character movement is tied to the animations before adding the AI.

...and that's why I think a fighting-game mode can be programmed in this game.

When I was young and ambitious, I tried making a game called XSF Force. One element you might find (but not implemented) is this guy's talking head and body.

He's a reporter named Mr. Snyder.

I could reuse these GFX, if I clean 'em up a bit.

Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.

It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.

That boss is now done, and implemented.

I can safely say I've completed half of the main game now, even though it's just the first three levels and the second-to-last.

Time to do something else.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

Why a chrome sphere for this logo? Because I wanted to.

What happens in the "O" usually changes from game to game. Cybosaurs had Sinistar, Shiro Ninja had , Shiro Ninja Mayhem had Pirate Jack, Dragonian had the cast of Staff of Laria, and so on.

I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.

...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.

Coming who-knows-when.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

He's coming back. ...but just this once.
